In my opinion, Scalloped Potatoes are one of the most delicious sides available. Rich, creamy, and cheesy and transforms the humble potato delicious enough to serve on your table for the holidays or even on a typical dinner table. You may be used to cooking your potatoes by baking them in the oven till the potatoes are soft and the sauce’s creamy has been reduced however, your slow cooker provides the perfect setting for perfect scalloped potatoes. Plus, it makes room in the oven for when you’ll require it for other elements of your dinner.
